MartinLogan Abyss 8" Subwoofer

MartinLogan

Supercharged Performance. Miniaturised Size.

Abyss 8 is one of the smallest, most compact subwoofers that MartinLogan has ever built, but don't let its small footprint fool you. It is capable of bass completely unexpected from its ultra-compact size.

The key to its deceptively strong, yet detailed sound is its Hybrid Woofer System which utilises a pair of 8" passive radiators to bolster its active 8" woofer. This woofer system is driven by powerful amplification, and a precision DSP engine, all contained inside a beautiful, yet robust, 1" thick cabinet.

To complement the impressive power and musicality of Abyss 8, MartinLogan engineers included an array of connectivity options ranging from XLR to the built-in wireless option. Abyss 8 also features MartinLogan's powerful and intuitive control app for convenient setup and adjustment, as well as being compatible with the award-winning Anthem Room Correction (ARC®) system.
